Mughal Empire, Warriors or Artists? I decided to go a little different rout with this assignment. I was on Hulu.com, thinking about renting a movie off the list you provided, but then I felt I should check out the History Chanel on Comcast On-Demand to see if there was anything interesting that would be worth watching. I found a couple of different option that I could choose from, that I felt would fulfill the assignment requirements. The first option that I didn’t choose was about the incredible Roman Empire and their technology advancements. The second option that I did choose was about the Mughal Empire from 1526-1858 AD. I chose the Mughal Empire because I had no knowledge about the Mughal Empire prior to watching the History Chanel special.

The Mughal people became very well known for being expert weapon artist. Throughout their two hundred years of ruling in India the Mughal’s produced one of the most dangerous bows and arrows known to man, that we still aren’t fully positive on how it was manufactured 400 years ago. Also the Mughals were one the first to place armor on their elephants during war, which made their opponent fear elephants like we fear tanks today. The Mughal warriors also armed themselves with cannons, and one of the first known guns, the Matchlock. The Mughal Empire was a fierce and powerful group of people, however they built some of the most elaborate and beautiful structures known to man. After taking over Deli in the 16th century, Babur spent much of his time and efforts on building what is known as the Mughal water gardens. The water garden is made up of four magnificent channels of water flowing together to...
